Object storage stores files as objects in buckets, addressed over an S3-compatible HTTP API. Because the API is S3-compatible, existing tools and SDKs — the AWS CLI, boto3, rclone, MinIO clients — work by simply pointing them at the platform endpoint.

Creating a Bucket and Access Keys

Using Standard S3 Tools

# AWS CLI against the platform endpoint
aws s3 ls \
  --endpoint-url https://s3.accra-1.daakyicloud.com

aws s3 cp ./backup.tar.gz s3://my-backups/2026/06/ \
  --endpoint-url https://s3.accra-1.daakyicloud.com

# Python (boto3)
import boto3
s3 = boto3.client(
    "s3",
    endpoint_url="https://s3.accra-1.daakyicloud.com",
    aws_access_key_id=ACCESS_KEY,
    aws_secret_access_key=SECRET_KEY,
)
s3.upload_file("report.pdf", "my-app-data", "reports/2026/june.pdf")

Pre-Signed URLs

Generate time-limited URLs that grant download or upload access to a single object without sharing credentials — the standard way to serve private files to end users.

url = s3.generate_presigned_url(
    "get_object",
    Params={"Bucket": "my-app-data", "Key": "reports/2026/june.pdf"},
    ExpiresIn=3600,  # 1 hour
)

Common Uses

• Backup targets — point database dumps and backup tooling at a bucket
• Media and static assets served to applications
• Log archival with lifecycle rules that expire old objects automatically
• Cross-application data exchange without shared file systems
